What should investors do?
In the upcoming week, investors’ attention will mostly be directed towards the release of service PMI data from the US, India, and China. Further, the RBI policy meeting outcome, where the central bank is likely to opt for a status quo, will give some cues to the market.

Foreign investors have turned net buyers in November after being sellers in the previous two months, which is a positive sign for the domestic markets.

“Better than expected GDP numbers have also boosted the sentiment and the Indian market is all set for the next big rally,” said Sheersham Gupta, Director and Senior Technical Analyst at Rupeezy.

Technically, analysts say the short-term trend of Nifty continues to be positive, and one may expect further upside in the coming week.

“The next upside levels to be watched are around 20510. Immediate support is at 20140,” said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.
